runs along the lake’s waters, with the
riders actually riding into the water
in some places. All of these reasons
are what draw more spectators to this
event than other WORCS round.

The Havasu round also drew a lot
of SxS racers. Robert Vanbeekum
escaped a close call, running with
two wheels off the side of a jump soon
after the start. He gathered up the car
without rolling it and went on to win.
The SxS classes are super competitive, but much of winning is still
about keeping the car alive as much
as it is driving it quickly. ;

Everybody rightfully expected Josh
Frederick to be a contender at Havasu,
but a crash early in the Pro ATV race
left him hospitalized with serious questions about his ability to walk again.

Havasu’s course had this lagoon-jump
option. It allowed riders to miss 100
yards of the course and make up time,
but the face was rutted and was a full
commitment to jump it cleanly.

Dustin Nelson kept his holeshot streak
alive and rode strong, but a suspen-sion-bearing failure made him slow at
the end. Much of the course was a
deep double rut like this.

Only three of the SxS drivers attempted
the lagoon jump. RJ Anderson jumped
it most laps, but it was a severe landing. The crowd loved it!

Beau Baron raced to the win in thePro ATV at round three in Havasu, andhe led every lap in the SxS ProProduction class until he broke. Youcan see how hard the SxS machineswere bouncing around. David Haagsma made a good choicebringing Beau Baron onto the team. Hewas a strong second at Havasu andsecond in points for the series.
